Astragalus root extract is a concentrated form of one of the key adaptogens of traditional Chinese medicine. Through the extraction process, active compounds are transferred into a bioavailable form with a reproducible chemical profile. Unlike root powder, the extract provides a standardized polysaccharide content - the primary marker compounds that determine the biological activity of Astragalus.

Astragalus membranaceus is a perennial plant of the Fabaceae family from the temperate regions of China, Mongolia and Korea. In Chinese medicine it is known as "Huang Qi" - yellow life energy. For over two thousand years, Astragalus root has been one of the most important tonic remedies in traditional Chinese medicine. Today it remains one of the most researched adaptogens in the world.

Three Areas of Studied Activity

Immune support - the most studied area. Astragalus polysaccharides are studied in the context of regulating immune cell activity - particularly NK cells and macrophages.

Adaptogenic activity - influence on the body's response to physical and psychological stress, supporting recovery after exertion.

Cellular renewal - astragaloside IV is one of the few natural compounds studied in connection with telomerase activity - an enzyme involved in maintaining telomere length. Telomeres protect chromosomes from damage and their shortening is associated with cellular ageing processes. This is an active area of research with limited clinical evidence in humans - but the scientific significance of the topic makes Astragalus unique among plant adaptogens.

How to Use

Capsules are convenient for daily intake - a fixed dose without brewing or weighing. Take 1-3 capsules 1-3 times per day during or after meals. Dosage is selected individually depending on the intake regimen - solo or in combination with mushroom or other plant adaptogens. Individual dosage should be agreed with a specialist.
